1.Sonographic and CT Findings of Sialadenosis in a Child with Leukemia.
Korean Journal of Radiology 2012;13(5):634-636
Sialadenosis is characterized by asymptomatic bilateral enlargement of the parotid glands. It is uncommon, especially in children. Diagnosis and analysis of sialadenosis based on imaging modalities have been rarely reported. Here, we report a case of sialadenosis in a child with leukemia, in which the diagnosis was made based on sonography and CT findings.

Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTCL) is a rare subtype of cutaneous lymphoma. There have been a few case reports describing the radiologic imaging findings of SPTCL. We report a case of SPTCL, rarely presented with a breast mass. Here, we review her clinical history and radiologic (mammography and ultrasound) findings.

Breast metastases in cases leukemia are very rare and occur primarily in patients with acute myeloid leukemia. We report the involvement of breast metastases in a 30-year-old woman with acute T cell lymphoblastic leukemia. The patient's mammograms revealed an extremely dense pattern with ill-defined, denser mass-like lesions in both breasts. A bilateral breast ultrasonographic evaluation revealed lobular-shaped and partly ill-defined hypoechoic masses with a multi-septated nodular (mottled) appearance.

Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common histological subtype of Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. As treatments continues to evolve, so do imaging strategies, and positron emission tomography (PET) has emerged as the most important imaging tool to guide oncologists in the diagnosis, staging, response assessment, relapse/recurrence detection,and therapeutic decision making of DLBCL. Other imaging modalities including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), ultrasound, and conventional radiography are also used in the evaluation of lymphoma. MRI is useful for nervous system and musculoskeletal system involvement and is emerging as a radiation free alternative to PET/CT. This article provides a comprehensive review of both the functional and morphological imaging modalities, available in the management of DLBCL.

The primary esophageal lymphoma is extremely rare, and shows various morphologic characteristics. Only a single case of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) type lymphoma confined to the esophagus has been reported in the literature. A 61-yr-old man was referred to our hospital for evaluation of an esophageal submucosal tumor (SMT) that had been detected incidentally by endoscopy. He had a history of pulmonary tuberculosis with long-term anti-tuberculosis medication 15 yr before, and also had a history of syphilis, which had been treated one year before. He had been taking a synthetic thyroid hormones for the past 10 months because of an autoimmune thyroiditis. Endoscopy showed a longitudinal round and tubular shaped smooth elevated lesion, which was covered with intact mucosa and located at the mid to distal esophagus, 31 cm to 39 cm from the incisor teeth. Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) showed a huge longitudinal growing intermediate- to hypo-echoic mass located in the submucosal layer with internal small, various sized honeycomb-like anechoic lesions suggesting germinal centers. Subsequently, he underwent a surgery, which confirmed the mass as a primary esophageal low-grade B-cell lymphoma of MALT type.

BACKGROUND: Primary lymphoma of the gastrointestinal tract is an unusual disease for which the optimal management strategy has not been clearly defined. The role of surgery in the management of primary gastrointestinal lymphoma remains controversial. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the management and the outcome of 55 patients a diagnosis of gastrointestinal lymphoma who were treated at Kyung-Hee University Medical Center during the period 1986-1997. Thirty-seven of them underwent a resection for cure, and 23 patients of them underwent chemotherapy. 18 patients underwent chemotherapy only. Radiation therapy was excluded due to the small number of patients. Surgery consisted of wide local resection of the primary tumor (curative for stages I and II, and palliative for stages III and IV), and regional lymph nodes, with re-establishment of bowel continuity. Chemotherapy involved 6-10 courses of CHOP-B (cyclophosphamide, adriamicin, vincristine, prednisone, and bleomycin). Survival curves were calculated by using the Kaplan and Meier method. RESULTS: The mean age was 51 years (range: 3-82), the peak incidence of age was the fifth decades (34%), and the male-to-female ratio was 1.3:1. Common signs and symptoms at presentation were abdo minal pain (n=46), palpable mass (n=28), nausea/vomiting (n=26), and weight loss (n=18). The diagnostic sensitivities of ultrasound, contrast radiography, endoscopic biopsy, and computed tomography were 52%, 57%, 76%, and 78%, respectively. The primary tumor sites were the stomach (n=18), the terminal ileum & cecum (n=15), the small bowel (n=13), and the large bowel (n=9). The respective cumulative overall 5-year survival rates for stage I, II, III tumors were 89%, 74%, and 43% (p<0.05). The respective overall 5-year survival rate for resection only, resection with chemotherapy, and chemotherapy only were 100%, 78%, and 40% (p<0.05). By the Kaplan-Meier method, the prognostic factors of survival were stage and curative resection (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: A curative resection in a stage I, II lymphoma confined to the gastrointestinal tract and to regional involvement may improve patient survival.

Axillary disorders originate from an axillary lymph node, subcutaneous fat layer, accessory breast, nerve, vessel and muscle. The most common causes of a palpable axillary mass are a lymph node pathology containing a benign axillary lymphadenopathy, and malignant lymph nodes such as a metastatic lymphadenopathy from breast cancer and a malignant lymphoma. For the detection of masses in the axilla, mammography and sonography are the imaging modalities of choice. We present a spectrum of various axillary masses with correlative radiological imaging and pathological findings in this pictorial essay. Knowledge of the radiological findings of various axillary disorders is useful for a differential diagnosis and for preventing unnecessary invasive procedures.

10.Acute lymphoblastic leukemia and chronic lymphocytic leukemia in dogs.
Journal of Biomedical Research 2014;15(1):32-35
An Australian cattle dog (case 1: 6-year-old castrated male) and a Shih-Tzu dog (case 2: 8-year-old castrated male) were referred to the Gyeongsang Animal Medical Center due to anorexia and depression. Physical examinations, complete blood counts, serum chemical analysis, radiography, ultrasonography, and bone marrow biopsy were performed. Upon physical examinations of cases 1 and 2, enlargement of superficial lymph nodes was not identified. Hematologic findings in these dogs included leukocytosis with severe lymphocytosis, anemia, and thrombocytopenia. Upon radiography, both dogs showed splenomegaly. Upon examination of a peripheral blood smear in case 1, immature lymphoid cells, featuring decreased nuclear chromatin condensation and nuclear pleomorphism, were present. Biopsy samples of the bone marrow in case 1 revealed hypercellularity as well as a large number of immature lymphoblastic cells similar in shape to cells in the peripheral blood. The characteristic morphological features of peripheral blood and bone marrow samples in case 2 were small lymphocytes. Thus, the dogs were tentatively diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), respectively. After diagnosis, the CLL patient was administered chlorambucil and prednisolone therapy. Due to its similarity to human leukemia, the canine leukemia model provides a valuable model for research into human leukemia.
